is coming to Cotulla
Beginning Friday, September d
Direct Distance Dialing, known as “DDD,” is coming to Cotulla.
DDD enables you to dial your own Long Distance calls from
coast to coast.. . almost as easy as dialing a local call!
You’ll find this “long distance magic” fast, easy, and
thrifty. You’ll literally have the nation at your fingertips. And
you’ll find the low station-to-station rates a bigger bargain
than ever as you dial your calls through to distant cities in
just seconds.
Long Distance calls from coin telephones, person-to-per-
son calls, collect calls, and calls placed with credit cards will
still be handled by the Long Distance operator, in the usual
manner.
We are glad to bring Direct Distance Dialing to Cotulla.
ODD — HOW IT WORKS
DDD is FAST and EASY. Just listen for the dial tone . . . then dial “1” . . .
plus the area code . . plus the number you want to call . . . that’s all!
(After you've dialed your call, the Operator will ask for your number.)
Suppose for example, you want to call TAylor 5-4199 in Denver. The Denver
area code (see front pages of your directory) is 303. So you’ll dial:
1 + 3-0-3 + TA-54-1-9-9
(DDD\ /Area\ /Telephone^
Code/ \Code/ \ Number J
This new development is a major step in our continuing pro-
gram to make your telephone service even faster, more effi-
cient, and more enjoyable.
